My three computers at home are pretty old, 10 years old, an old iMac, a Mac laptop (with hardware issues), and an old Windows machine I inherited from an estate. I've used Macs for a long time, but now I read that Apple is going to a new chip (M-1). This is the second switcheroo. They went from Motorola to Intel, eventually stranding a lot of my software, and now they are going from Intel to M-1, which will also strand a lot of software, probably most of it on my old Macs. I should also say that I am retiring soon, and that my Mac at work is really old, too.
As far as ham radio goes, I'm using the old Windows PC. I'm running HRD on it, but my guess is that the computer's days are numbered.
So, I'm toying with the idea of keeping the iMac in good repair for legacy stuff from work, but going with Linux-based computers into the future/retirement.
So, I'd like to have a discussion with hams here who have gone totally with Linux for their personal computing needs, how do you do digital, rig control, the stuff that HRD does.
Thanks
